Can't see the wood for the trees (Posted on 2007-08-14)

Can you find one five-figure number with distinct digits between 1 and 9 which satisfies all four of the following equations?

ASPEN x 2 = BEASTS
LARCH x 3 = STICKY
CEDAR x 4 = STATIC
PLANE x 5 = NACRED

Repeated letters within an equation indicate the replication of digits. However, the same letter in different equations does not necessarily refer to the same digit.

68439 x 2 = 136878 (ASPEN x 2 = BEASTS) 68439 x 3 = 205317 (LARCH x 3 = STICKY) 68439 x 4 = 273756 (CEDAR x 4 = STATIC) 68439 x 5 = 342195 (PLANE x 5 = NACRED)
